A base station apparatus that executes a random-access procedure, the base station apparatus includes, a notifier that notifies a terminal apparatus of a transmission permission of a scheduling request by a shared wireless resource, which is part or all of wireless resources used for the random-access procedure; and a receiver that receives a scheduling request transmitted from the terminal apparatus by the shared wireless resource.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The base station apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the scheduling request is transmitted using an uplink control information format with which uplink control information relating to communication from the terminal apparatus toward the base station apparatus is transmitted.
3. The base station apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the uplink control information format includes PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel).
4. The base station apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the scheduling request is transmitted using a random-access procedure format transmitted from the terminal apparatus to the base station apparatus in the random-access procedure.
5. The base station apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the random-access procedure format includes a RACH (Random Access Channel) format used in the random-access procedure.
6. The base station apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a response controller that, after receiving the scheduling request, transmits a response to the scheduling request using downlink control information relating to communication from the base station apparatus toward the terminal apparatus.
7. The base station apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the downlink control information includes PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel).
8. The base station apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a cyclic shift amount applied to a scheduling request transmitted by the wireless resource is less than a cyclic shift amount applied to the wireless resource used in the random-access procedure.
9. The base station apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a cyclic shift amount applied to a scheduling request transmitted by the wireless resource is less than a cyclic shift amount applied to the wireless resource used in the random-access procedure.
10. The base station apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the terminal apparatus confirms a usage state of a predetermined communication band prior to transmission of the scheduling request or transmission of a signal in the random-access procedure.
11. The base station apparatus according to claim 1, wherein after receiving the scheduling request, the receiver receives attached information relating to the scheduling request.
12. The base station apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the attached information includes at least one of type and data amount of object data of the scheduling request.
13. The base station apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the attached information is transmitted using a wireless resource immediately after the wireless resource.
